History

The Lightweight Motorcycle club was founded in 1952.

From 1974 Don Hendly allowed motocross events to be conducted on his property just outside Byford on the South West Highway.

Sadly he passed on in 1980 and the property was then acquired by the Pioneer Quarry Group. Negotiations with them saw Landcorp take over the management of the land. In 1990 the then club President Ron Deadman arranged to have the property transferred from landcorp and vested with the Serpentine Shire council to be gazetted as a Motorcycle Off-road Facility for the Lightweight Motorcycle Club.

In closing all past, present members and any competitor who has competed at the venue acknowledges the generosity of the Late Don Hendley and all members will remember this now and in the future for the gift he has left all.
